But if you want to write/draw about your original character falling in love with a canon character, then that OC should be a good and well-developed character on their own. (As in, not a flat mary-sue twu luv for your favorite bishie.)

Seriously. We don't need another 'My Inner Life'-esque fic, amrite?

Feel free to voice your opinions on OCxCanon Character fanfics/fanart in the comments.

Okay, I can understand what you said in the description, but what's written on the stamp sounds a bit rude, to be honest.I like OC x Canon as long es the OC is adapted to the Canon Character and you know something about him or her.But everybody can make fanart or write fanfictions about everything they want.

I used to be part of the jcadventures group but I left because it's so plagued with OCs. I think the reason for this is because the actual show had a huge lack of female characters. But those fans had to run it by making all the girls have love interests, even the bad guys. In real life would you want to marry a guy who wanted to destroy the Golden Gate Bridge? I wouldn't!

I used to do this. I honestly did, and I still use some of those OCs, I'm sad to say. I'm not anti OCxCanon, but I don't do it myself anymore. If there's no-one with whom I ship the character within their fandom - or even from another fandom - then I just leave them be. XD

I agree with this! But I am not Anti-OcxCanon. I just believe that if you create a fan-character, maybe, just maybe, you should make them into their own characters before even considering a love interest... Many of my Ocs/fan characters that end up in love with a canon is because I have Role Played them and experimented on them, and made them interact with Canons. I do not automatically make an OC just to be with a Canon and I believe that some Ocs need to just be expiremented with before thrust upon a Canon character.Okay, I get that some people do make Ocs just to be with Canons and I am alright with that. As long as the Oc is thought out and will developed before being put with a canon!Enough said, TFWolves; OUT!

Yeah, I agree mostly. Those characters that have no purpose other than to fall in love with a canon character are literally a waste of time to read a fanfiction about, and disappointing. But there will always be those kinds of characters, and people will ship whoever they want to.

Look, your efforts are cute and all, but if we're talking about Hetalia, all you really need to do is find some silly stereotypes of a country (the best traits preferably) and run with that. History is barely important, just some key events to add some zany spin to it. If your Hetalia OC is nothing but a history textbook of the country, it is still a terrible OC.

The flaws you listed aren't flaws. They're annoying traits that can be seen as endearing to most, and extremely overdone.

A Mary Sue is simply a character that destroys conflict. Not all Mary Sues are bad, and not all bad characters are Mary Sues. But I can't really critique a character based on a short paragraph, so maybe your OCs aren't bad. But, if they're for Hetalia and all they are is a giant history lesson, then yes, it's bad.

it not always a good idea for oc x canon character but sometimes it is if the fanfiction makes sense including the plot etc; if you respect mine i will respect yours ^.^ yes it is possible to do it right but mostly wrong

B-but...is it wrong that I've mentally shipped my original characters (note: they're not fan characters, these are actually from original stories of mine) with characters from fandoms I like? It's just a part of my thing for crack pairings.

I made only ONE FC-type character, and that was a new type of zombie for Plants vs. Zombies. I considered putting a line in her (also fake) Almanac entry stating that she "was in love with Pogo Zombie", who is canon, as a joke, but I don't want people mistaking my FC for one created as a love interest. Oh, and she's a one-shot character so far.

I just can't stand the Mary Sue's I find on fanfics and OC shippings sometimes. The OC pretty much only serves the author access into the world with the Canon that they're in love with. It's truly painful to read or look at a majority of them, and this is why I'm going to use this stamp with pride!

Most of times I try to avoid those shippings. Yu-Gi-Oh was one of my favorite animes growing up. Every time I see one of those crappy recolored OC's courting with someone like Bakura, Yami, Marik, etc. it's like a punch in the gut to me right in the childhood.
